Fix, OnePlus 8 Pro is Not Charging, keeps stopping or not working

Check Hardware

If your OnePlus 8 Pro started having charging paused error out of the blue, the first thing that you need to do is to see if there’s an issue with the charging port or accessories. This error can sometimes be caused by a faulty USB cable or adapter so if you haven’t checked yours yet, be sure to do so now. You can do that by using another official OnePlus cable and adapter or charging another OnePlus device using the current ones.
